Flavio Pisciotta, Ludovica Pannitto, Lucia Busso, Beatrice Bernasconi, Francesca Masini
TL;DR
This paper explores using WordNet for semantic classification to improve the annotation of schematic fillers in the Italian Constructicon, highlighting benefits and limitations of this approach.
Contribution
It introduces a method for applying WordNet-based semantic features to formalize and annotate constructions in the Italian Constructicon.
Findings
WordNet aids in semantic annotation of fillers.
Semantic features from WordNet improve construction formalization.
Limitations exist in using WordNet for certain semantic nuances.
Abstract
The paper discusses the role of WordNet-based semantic classification in the formalization of constructions, and more specifically in the semantic annotation of schematic fillers, in the Italian Constructicon. We outline how the Italian Constructicon project uses Open Multilingual WordNet topics to represent semantic features and constraints of constructions.
